NAME

       Pod::Weaver::Section::Region - find a region and put its contents in place where desired

VERSION

       version 4.018

OVERVIEW

       This section will find and include a located hunk of Pod.  In general, it will find a
       region with the specified name, such as:

         =begin :myfoo

         =head1 More Pod Here

         =end :myfoo

       In other words, if your configuration include:

         [Region]
         region_name = myfoo

       ...then this weaver will look for "=begin :myfoo" ( and "=for :myfoo" and... ) and include
       it at the appropriate location in your output.

       Since you'll probably want to use Region several times, and that will require giving each
       use a unique name, you can omit "region_name" if you provide a plugin name, and it will
       default to the plugin name.  In other words, the configuration above could be specified
       just as:

         [Region / myfoo]

       If the "required" attribute is given, and true, then an exception will be raised if this
       region can't be found.

PERL VERSION SUPPORT

       This module has the same support period as perl itself:  it supports the two most recent
       versions of perl.  (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this
       module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

   required
       A boolean value specifying whether this region is required to be present or not. Defaults
       to false.

       If it's enabled and the region can't be found an exception will be raised.

   region_name
       The name of this region. Defaults to the plugin name.

   allow_nonpod
       A boolean value specifying whether nonpod regions are allowed or not. Defaults to false.

       "nonpod" regions are regions without a ":" prefix as explained in perlpodspec

         # region_name = myregion
         # is_pod = false
         =begin myregion

         # region_name = myregion
         # is_pod = true
         =begin :myregion

   flatten
       A boolean value specifying whether the region's contents should be flattened or not.
       Defaults to true.

         #unflattened
         =begin :myregion

         =head1

         =end :myregion

         #flattened
         =head1
